Episode 44: Psilly Way-Out Willy talks about Max Creek

Published:

Episode 44 of Hooked on Creek features my conversation with Willy Ackerman. Willy is a huge fan of Max Creek and has been part of the Creek scene for 30 years.

Willy is also known as Psilly Way-Out Willy and is the self-proclaimed Mayor of Creektown. In this episode, Willy talks about his favorite Max Creek memories, venues and songs. Willy also talks about his love of the Creek family that supports the band and its fans. There is no question Willy brings the Freak to the Creek, so I am excited to share our conversation with you.

This episode also features the following live performances by Max Creek:

  • Same Things performed July 20, 1995, at The Sting in New Britain, Connecticut
  • Heartbeat performed September 5, 1998, at Sterling Stage in Hannibal, New York

I’ve learned since starting this podcast back in 2019 that the story of Max Creek is as much about the fans as it is about the music and the members of the band. That’s why it was so much fun talking with Willy and getting to hear about all of his Max Creek experiences over the years. Huge thanks to Willy for joining me on the podcast!
